Induro professional tripods and support gear : The MAC Group has expanded its professional family of photographic products with a new line of professional tripods and support gear. Under the brand name of Induro, the MAC Group will offer a wide range of camera support gear. The Induro product line has been jointly developed by the MAC Group in cooperation with Yilee Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. Induro is manufactured in a new, state-of-the-art facility by Yilee. Yilee developed and pioneered their own brand under the Benro name, which has become the #1 best selling professional tripod in Asian markets. They have been awarded with the Best Brand, Highest Quality, Best Reputation and Photographer’s Choice Awards 2005 in China.

Induro tripods - Lightweight
During the development of the Induro brand, product managers from the MAC Group, along with top pro photographers, fueled the design and performance specification demanded by today’s pro shooters. The goal was to create a high quality, versatile and reasonably-priced support solution that would enhance the creation of their images. According to Marketing/Product Manager, Lorenzo Gasperini of MAC Group, “Induro brings the latest innovative concepts, manufacturing technology, and state-of-the-art lightweight materials to their designs” and that “Induro is committed to meeting and exceeding the expectations of professional photographers.”

Carbon fiber tripod - Technology
Induro carbon fiber tripods and monopods are especially unique as compared to current generation competitive brands because they are made from 2nd-generation carbon fiber technology. Using independently controlled laboratory studies, it has been found that the carbon fiber tubing used in Induro products is 40% stronger in load pressure, and 80% stronger laterally than the leading brands of carbon fiber tripods and monopods. This is achieved by using more fibers and less epoxy in the manufacturing blend. Dedicated to improving their designs and specifications, Induro’s research and development team is continually striving to improve manufacturing techniques and technologies.
